This fascinating book on the trials and tribulations of the life of
Khaliyq (Ka-leek) Nazaire will take you along for a journey of
compassion. Khaliyq is not your average young adult. His mix of
genius and struggle with mental dis-ease leads him on an intriguing
journey of self-discovery and self-destruction. No hurdle is too
high to contemplate jumping, no accomplishment thought out of
reach. Yet on the streets, everyone's a potential enemy in
Khaliyq's mind. What he still can't get used to is a world where
integrity is an option, one where people trying to take from you is
the norm. Khaliyq plunges deeply into creating the life of his
desire. He has a promising career with a path toward
entrepreneurship, degrees from a prominent college and university,
women who love him, worldwide vacation destinies, techy toys, and a
house in the suburbs. Khaliyq's life is a mirror in extremes,
exemplified by his unique childhood in an Islamic commune in
Brooklyn, NY, to the prestigious Morehouse College and then St.
John's University, to one of the big four accounting firms on Wall
Street. A leader by nature and example, helper and inspiration to
many, made sure that giving back was an inherent part of his
lifestyle. But all of that is not enough, and he sets his hurdles
precipitously higher and higher. This book will show you that
everyone struggles with something, and being our brother's keeper
is the best thing we can do to help each other hold fast on our
way. Leaping the Hurdles of Life, A Tiger's Story is for everyone
who struggles on the path of life, desires to live a life of joy,
and is a reminder that no one can do it alone.

Human, All Too Human is the first book by Friedrich Nietzsche to
use the aphoristic style that would become emblematic of his most
famous philosophy. This compact and inexpensive print edition
ensures that you can absorb and appreciate these philosophical
insights at little expense. His style, combining Nietzsche's
vehement brand of argument with keynote nihilistic energy, is
evident. Quickfire, furious nature of the points made in some
respects foreshadow later works in which these qualities are
enhanced still further. For the clinical yet perceptive style
present in this early work, Nietzsche's adherents compare Human,
All Too Human to the earliest works of psychology. Throughout the
text, Nietzsche examines human traits and behaviours in a series of
short passages, presenting a number of posits and philosophic
arguments in each. The shortest of these are only a single
paragraph, while the longest run for several.
This book is for anyone who wants to learn about herself or himself
in a personal way-a way that includes reason and love, not
imitation and fear. This book is about a journey from me to "I," a
journey that is a lifelong process into the beautiful ocean of the
unknown. Once we become knowledgeable about who we are, we can
stride into this unknown enthusiastically, and without fear,
anxiety, and regret. We can allow ourselves to go with the flow,
just because it is the way to go; we simply ACCEPT the unknown as
another part of our being. This sense of true acceptance comes only
with knowledge and awareness of ourselves and our surroundings.
Without these two, our acceptance is motivated by fear, or some
form of procrastination, apathy, or some other reason that is not
related to true acceptance.
How each person is born, raised, and grows in the journey of
life is a beautiful, extraordinary, yet comprehendible process.
Once we learn the laws and rules of nature and creation, we have
learned a great deal about ourselves. We all have to walk through
obstacles, barriers, and difficulties in life.
In "Power in the Blood, " Richard Porter shares a fresh perspective
in conjunction with little-known and fascinating details, as he
examines the connections that join science and spirituality. Porter
integrates the latest findings in science with the ancient and
traditional knowledge of faith and spirituality by exploring
complicated biological realities drawn from extensive research. As
he delves into the topics of biology, evolution, and the
metaphysical aspect of nature, he offers ideas for the pursuit of
inquisitive journeys into self-awareness, human consciousness, and
the truth. Porter leaves no stone unturned as he carefully
scrutinizes and provides personal insight into bio-existentialism,
the cosmos, mind fields and X-factors, the magnum mysterium,
post-Darwinian evolution, and axiomatic authenticity. Written for a
broad audience with adventurous and open minds, "Power in the
Blood" presents a unique exploration of biological evolution and
provides fresh insight into what it means to be human.
Wife, mother, and award-winning producer of the sleeper hit "What
the Bleep Do We Know ?" Betsy Chasse thought she had it all figured
out...until she realized she didn't. She didn't know anything about
happiness, love, spirituality, or herself...nothing, nada, zilch.
In a book that's anything but quiet, Chasse takes readers on a
playful romp through the muddy fields of life and spirituality.
Witty, yet unflinching, Chasse exposes her own experience tipping
sacred cows and dissects the fragile beliefs we all hold so dear.
Because the truth is, we each have a choice to believe the stories
we tell ourselves or create new ones.
A candid, no-nonsense confession, Chasse's story gives readers the
freedom to break free from their old patterns and gleefully frolic
through fields, cow tipping at will and in the process, create a
new reality for themselves.
"The Seven Faces of Time" illustrates how an individual, responding

of thought and behavior, the book describes the various effects it
